convert bin to text

I want convert binary to text for example:

A = ('abcdefghigklmnopqrstuvwxyz');
     int = uint8(A); 
     bin = dec2bin(int);
     message = char(bin);

but when execute this code the result is binary value to each character, but I want the result is the same text that converted(abcdefghigklmnopqrstuvwxyz)

message = char(bin2dec(bin));

Note: this might get you a column vector of characters. dec2bin() does not preserve the shape of the original vector anywhere, so you need to reshape() after conversion back.

Thanks Walter,

but when execute

message = char(bin2dec(bin));

on long text, I have this error

"Binary string must be 52 bits or less".

[Walter Roberson]

bin2dec and dec2bin are not formally defined for arrays of values. I know that bin2dec() works on arrays, but I would need to test to advise properly.

One possibility:

message = char(arrayfun(@(IDX) bin2dec(bin(IDX,:)), 1:size(bin,1)));
